The original notice said Ajai was speaking on Ruby on Rails. While
that was an editing error, Ajai probably wouldn't mind a few more Ruby
on Rails questions either.

Gentoo Linux
"Use the source, Luke." In 2002, Daniel Robbins released Gentoo Linux,
based on his belief in using source code to achieve maximum
customization and flexibity. The defining characteristic of Gentoo
is Portage, a package management and software distribution system,
somewhat similar to the BSD ports system. As the most popular
source-based distro, Gentoo has spawned intense feelings in both its
users and about its users. This month is your chance to get some
answers about the distro whose users spawn more conversation than its
code, and find out the truth about Gentoo. As a bonus, we'll have some
Gentoo LiveCDs to take home so you can play with it yourself.
Please join us on Wednesday August 30 at 6:30pm, as Ajai Khattri gives
us a test drive of Gentoo, and answers your questions about Gentoo,
Portage, and the benefits of a source-based distro.
Please also join us on September 27, 2006 at IBM for next month's
meeting. (topic to be announced)
About Ajai Khattri
Ajai Khattri was born in the United Kingdom, and after obtaining a
degree in computer science in London, came to the US in 1994 and lives

ZX80 at age 8, and now works as a web developer and sysadmin for local
ISP, bway.net after having previously been a developer, test engineer,

When Ajai isn't banging out code, he enjoys reading and photography.
He can be seen regularly at nycruby meetings, and is about to be the
only person ever to present to NYLUG two months in a row.
